Saving and Loading Replay Data

After each race, you can save replay data for future viewing. There are two types of replay data: Full-lap replays and Best-lap replays.

Replays can be viewed in Replay Theater or after each race.

Saving Ghost Data: (Time Trial & Free Run Modes only)

After each race, your performance can be saved as Ghost Data. When loaded on the same track, the ghost car will be projected during the race. The ghosted car lets you compare your current pace to the pace of the saved data.

Loading Garage Data in Arcade Mode

Whether you want to race in Arcade Mode with your cars earned in Simulation Mode or you have different cars on different memory cards, Garage Data can be loaded to access vehicles on your memory card. In order to load Garage Data, you must have a GT3 Simulation saved file with cars already on it.
